Welcome to Satsang! It is a great opportunity to have an encounter with the Reality, with the Truth. We are finding out this Absence here… Notice words are constantly contradictory; they are thought’s creations. In fact, word is thought. I am talking about this encounter with the Absence, an encounter with the Presence. This encounter is only a Revelation, a Revelation of the Truth about Yourself.
Everything in life is pointing out your very own Presence… or Absence. Even the most complicated thing happening or the most intense suffering is pointing out the absence of the one who suffers, which is the Presence of Reality. Everything will always point That out! It is not an intellectual understanding, but rather an inside-out vision. All that is mentioned here is already inside yourself, so it is only a matter of contemplation, of vision. Truth’s Beauty lies in not being neither old nor young, but rather timeless, beyond the mind and so, beyond all the knowledge the mind has been acquiring, creating and expressing throughout the years. The mind is both the author and the consumer of knowledge – that is the game.
First, the mind produces the knowledge, then it “collects” that knowledge as something new to later make use of it to acquire further knowledge – and so we have this “package,” this “bundle,” that is only fiction, thought’s fantasy. Truth is beyond this “package,” beyond the past, the present, the future, beyond what the mind has built and has collected, beyond its projections.
The point is nothing is real. Real is the absence of the one who suffers, which is the Presence of Happiness, Truth. We may call this Truth as Consciousness, Consciousness as Happiness and Happiness as Love… this Love we may call as Peace, the Peace beyond the “package,” beyond the mind. By finding That out within yourself, any illusion and any apparent “truth” disappear. This Discovery is Truth, Wisdom and Intelligence Awakening.
When there is Intelligence, there is no suffering. Suffering is only possible when there is a lie (here, lie in the sense of illusion). So, while there is illusion, there will be lie, and this is non-intelligence. Intelligence is the absence of the one who suffers or the Presence of Truth, and this is Wisdom. How does it sound to you?
When I say everything in your life is pointing out this very own Absence, it means anything going on inside yourself is not the Truth; but rather illusion, lie. To see this lie, this illusion, is to see the Truth. So, what you need is not to abandon the lie, not to abandon the illusion, but rather to realize the truth of it, the truth of the lie, of the illusion.
These talks in Satsang are very strange since they are not creating anything. As I told you here, the mind builds things and produces knowledge; then it becomes aware of the knowledge to accomplish something through it. Nothing is being produced here, nothing is being known, nothing is being accomplished. Here, you are not learning anything; you are discovering the eyes able to see the lie, the illusion, the false as false. If you can see the false as false, your eyes are seeing the Truth. That is the Presence of the Truth; This itself is already the absence of the one who suffers.
Participant: Master, can the mind access limitless knowledge?
Marcos Gualberto: All knowledge is limited since it requires more knowledge. Once you know something new, there is always something to learn further, therefore proving how limited – and not unlimited – is the knowledge. If knowledge were unlimited, it would not be confined into time’s boundaries. Everything within time is limited! Knowledge can be acquired, increased, expanded, therefore is limited. Everything acquirable and improvable is limited as it is within time. Only Truth, that does not belong to knowledge, is Unlimited.
No matter what you learn, there will always be more to learn about it. No matter what you discover, there will always be more to discover about it. That proves the limitation! Only True Knowledge is unlimited, and That is the absence of temporal knowledge thought can make feasible, doable and explainable.
Before being interested in knowledge, which is limited, you should be interested in finding out who You are. The Real knowledge that really matters and cannot be improved nor impaired is the Truth about who You are. When that Knowledge is present, Timeless Truth, beyond-time Intelligence, which is Happiness, Peace, Love, God, is then present. God is this Consciousness, this Presence, this Truth, this Unlimited and Real Knowledge, and not what you call as "knowledge." So, the only "thing" worthy to known is What exceeds the known; the only "thing" worthy to realize is What cannot be realized by the mind.
